OK i understand the reasoning behind the mining change. But is this really the best way to do it? Its made it near unbearable for anyone not AFK to mine, its like pulling teeth. If we mine we are generally sat watching a film or something at the same time, keeping an eye on the screen. This isn't possible any more.

Is there a better way to overcome this problem? ELse im macroing it. lol x

I'm quite liking the new style, Afk mining was a pretty big issue for those of us who didn't have the resources to run multiple clients constantly mining and controlling the Plat/Ore Market.

I do agree that the changes may be a bit over the top (Due to the short amount of time between moving).

Here is an idea that may sort the issue and stop afk mining. Why don't you implement mining nodes. Players would be forced to run around finding the nodes and mining them. You could mine the nodes for a certain amount of time until it runs dry and spawns somewhere else. This would allow people to go semi-afk (to watch a film or w/e) but at the same time keep the multiple client miners redundant due to the random locations.

I was going to say the same thing. The DirtPiles that you harvest could drop them.

Just increase the mining in one spot time, what is it now 2 minutes? Too low and after about a hour mining and not even having half a bag of ore i just gave up.

Not even that sometimes. Mining is pretty much useless atm.

It sure is. I quit mining weeks ago when idiots were killing miners anyway. It wasnt worth my time or effort really. With the difficulty of finding plat and 12+ puri is next. To 1 per 4 full bags of ore. Which before this fix for afk already took over 6 hours. Imagine mining for 6 hours with this new setup. And not even finding plat 12. That's a reason to quit mining altogether. We should be fishing :) that's also another good thing were missing. But another afk thing aswell. And just to point things out. We can only have 3 clients now per ip. So it's not really going to make it worse. It takes a lot of work to mine multiclients there was no time to hunt ESP when client lagged after so many run.

I would like to see fishing enabled. And since this new mining timer thing had been in effect, I suggest it's time to increase the chance of plats again.
